Sustainable agriculture students often learn about the food production process. A degree in this field can prepare graduates for jobs at research institutions or livestock companies. Besides learning about crops and farming, students may also take classes in statistics and microbiology.

A master program may be offered in a variety of different fields, allowing students of almost any subject to enhance their knowledge and improve their credentials. This degree generally takes one to three years to obtain, although requirements may vary.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
